Re: hostname and domain name server.

Try putting _both_ the full and partial paths in your hosts file, like this:

#.#.#.# ccu1 ccu1.auk.etc....

This is frequently done at schools/companies with many UNIX systems- locally,
you can mail to either short or long addresses, but outside of the LAN you
specific the long address.
